Description
The Oslo Accords, which were supposed to lead to the coexistence of two Israeli and Palestinian states, are "gone", according to one of their architects, the Norwegian Jan Egeland. The Oslo Accords of 1993 were meant to lead to an independent Palestinian state but Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations have been stalled since 2014.
"The Oslo Accord is gone as an accord. Now there will be another accord and it will have to be led by the US, the EU and the Arab countries," Egeland, now the head of the NGO Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), says in an interview. "Clearly the leaderships on either side are not at all at the level that they were at the time. They those were visionary leaders. They were strong leaders. They were really leaders. Now we have populists on both sides really." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
